"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe. In our world today we are now seeing our own Spring Awakening with people and cultures that have long been dormant and subdued asserting their right to exist, their right to dream." Adam Price MP

On the Coming Financial Crash

CRITICAL WARNINGTO ANYONE WHO WAS BORN BEFORE 1969:

The information you’re about to read was gathered from an“invitation-only” meeting in Washington D.C., less than 3 miles from the White House.

Heads of central banks, finance ministers, deputies, and leading economists from around the world attended this meeting.

This urgent intelligence now points directly to a coming launch of a rival currency to the U.S. dollar…

The date’s set for October 2015.

Come this fall, America… and the life of EVERY American… will never be the same.

Dear reader,

Hi, Jim Rickards here.

I just returned from Washington D.C., where I learned details about a disturbing backroom deal…

One that confirmed my fears that a major market collapse is just around the corner… and that the U.S. dollar may be replaced as early as fall 2015.

See, thanks to my connections as an advisor to the Pentagon, the CIA, and the U.S. Director of Intelligence, I attended a very special “invitation only” meeting just weeks ago…

I was joined by heads of central banks, finance ministers, deputies, and leading economists from around the world.

Former Fed chairmen Ben Bernanke and Paul Volcker were there… so was former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and the current IMF Director Christine Lagarde.

Of course, in front of everyone the world’s most powerful men and women in finance put on their happy faces.

But behind closed doors, some of these powerful people held a side meeting to quietly discuss something far more sinister…

A financial deal unlike anything we’ve seen in our lifetimes…

One that could very soon affecteverything about our way of life...

According to the intelligence I’ve gathered, this deal will go through on or around October 2015.

Years from now, historians will look back at this date as the day the rules of international finance were completely rewritten.

What’s at stake for you, your wealth and your family?

Well, make no mistake…

Even though this deal doesn’t involve any type of securities, it will change everything if it goes through.

If you’re a senior and rely on the government for income, you’ll be badly hurt.

If you have any portion of your savings wrapped up in stocks… or if you hold any of your savings in U.S. dollars…

You could instantly become poorer when this deal gets inked.

Savings accounts could be frozen completely — choking you off from your nest egg.

In short, this behind-closed-doors meeting confirmed my fear that the dollar could, very soon, be replaced with a new “global money.”

The IMF, the institution that manages the global financial markets, has independently confirmed it is “only a matter of time” before this deal gets inked.

While I was in Washington, I saw first-hand that even some of America’s largest allies — major countries in Europe, such as Germany, Britain, France and Italy — are already supporting this deal.

But here’s the good news…

Like everything in finance, there are always two sides of the deal.

There will be winners and losers.

While unprepared Americans may lose everything… those who take quick action may walk away with a fortune.

I’ve made this presentation today to help put you on the winning side of this potential wealth transfer.

In the next few moments I’ll share all the evidence I’ve gathered on this backroom deal …

I’ll show you:

Exactly what was discussed behind closed doors.

Who will win if this deal goes through, and who will lose.

A six-step plan to prepare for the days and months ahead, helping to ensure you come out on the winning side.

But before we get started, there’s something you need to know…

THEY LAUGHED, BUT I WAS RIGHT

I’m well aware that most people will dismiss this nightmarish scenario as unlikely…

I’ve actually been mocked before for making unpopular predictions.

For example, in 2009 I found myself inside a top-secret weapons laboratory outside of Washington D.C.

I was participating in the Pentagon’s first ever financial war games.

During the simulation, I said Russia and China could stockpile massive quantities of gold in an attempt to reduce the power of the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency.

Some of the Ivy League professors laughed, and thought this was a stupid simulation.

But that’s exactly what has happened since then.

Russia has increased its gold reserves by 125%... and, according to some estimates, China’s reserves have nearly tripled.

They laughed. But I was right.

It happened again in 2004…

While working with CIA officers, I helped built a proprietary market intelligence system that could predict terrorist attacks.

Few thought it would work.

But in 2006, my partner and I predicted a massive terrorist event in London just days before the attack was carried out.

Luckily, New Scotland Yard and MI5 thwarted the attack. Hundreds of lives were saved.

Once again, they laughed, but I was right.

And in my New York Times bestseller book, The Death of Money, I warned about the possibility of the exact deal I’ve been telling you about today…

And that the U.S. dollar would be replaced by this new “global money.”

A lot of people thought I was crazy.

But, again, that’s exactly what’s going on today.

This recent meeting in Washington has all but confirmed my thesis.

Now, the clock is ticking…

Already, a massive government agency — one most Americans deal with every single day — is examining the impact of dollars being converted into this new “global currency.”

And already, an article in the Financial Times has reported:

“In the eyes of the IMF, the best way to ensure the stability of the international monetary system is actually by launching a global currency.”

In fact, the backroom deal I’ll reveal today is designed around this “new money.”

Until now, this plan to replace the dollar with a new global money has been cloaked in technical jargon… the monetary authorities know if word leaks out to the general public it would lead to a panic.

But I can’t sit still and watch this all pass…

Not without doing everything I can to warn people like you.

Which is why I’m hosting an urgent LIVE intelligence briefing.

I’d like to personally invite you to attend this rare online intelligence event, where I’ll reveal all the details of this new “money” to a small group of people.

I’ll tell you how to secure your seat in a moment…

First, let me back up a bit, and show you exactly how the dollar will crumble…

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE DAY THIS SPOOKY NEW “MONEY” IS ISSUED?

Come October 2015, I believe the IMF will announce a major new change in the world currency markets involving this “new money”…

This backroom deal essentially confirms this new “money” could soon replace the dollar as the principal global reserve currency.

When this switch finally happens, we’ll have the biggest financial collapse in history… with the stock market plunging by 50% or more.

There won’t be a “QE” program that’s big enough to save the system.

No printing press that could run long enough to pump that many new dollars out to bail out the markets.

Put simply, all my research — my life’s work — shows me this coming crisis will be too big even for the U.S. government to solve.

That’s because the Federal Reserve, the U.S. central bank, already used up all their resources to deal with the last crisis in 2008.

They've got nothing left to deal with in the coming meltdown.

Next time, it’s the Federal Reserve that will need a bailout.

And monetary authorities around the globe are already preparing for that day.

The IMF, the institution that oversees the international monetary system, is planning to use this “new money” to bail out our financial system… and replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the IMF, has confirmed this when he said:

“The IMF might even be called upon to provide a globally issued reserve asset.”

When this happens, it’ll be the final nail in the coffin for the U.S. dollar. Overnight, the U.S. dollar will lose its privileged status as the principal global reserve currency.

And before you start guessing, this new “spooky” currency has nothing to do with Bitcoin, the Euro, the Chinese yuan or anything you may have heard from the mainstream media.

And it isn’t money you’re currently using. Instead, it's an odd mix of many different currencies... all wrapped up into a single note that governments will use between each other.

In fact, you won’t be able to touch it or spend it at all. It's unlike anything we've ever seen before.

That's why I call it spooky new “money.”

But once this plan to replace the dollar is fully executed, the financial markets will plummet.

The value of your dollars will instantly drop overnight. Riots may break out when Americans can’t get cheap, easy access to all the things they’ve taken for granted…

Things like water, gas and food.

What’s worse, I believe this collapse could begin within the next six months.

And it’s this collapse that will be the big one. Here’s why…

THE POWER OF “THE AVALANCHE THEORY”

To paint a picture of what I expect to come, I want you to imagine the start of an avalanche…

Imagine that there’s a mountainside that’s filled with snow.

Over the years, it continues to snow even more. And more. And more.

The snow accumulates.

Eventually, the situation gets very unstable.

One day, a snowflake comes along and lands the wrong way. The added pressure of this single additional snowflake begins to disturb the snow around it.

Now any one wrong move — any one financial snowflake — could cause the whole system to come crashing down…

That’s the “avalanche theory” in its most simplistic form. The key is to understand the theory, and then use it to predict what will happen during a financial avalanche…

Does it work as a predictive tool?

Take a look, and decide for yourself…

PINPOINT LIKE ACCURACY

Using my unique avalanche-theory model, I began telling my private clients about a decline of the dollar and a sharp rise in gold prices in as early as 2002.

Take a look at what happened in the following years…

I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE U.S DOLLAR AND GOLD

While the dollar lost a quarter of its value, gold went up almost 500%.

Later, in 2006, I warned my clients — some of Wall Street’s biggest players — of an impending financial collapse.

The few that listened had the chance to escape unscathed from the 2008 meltdown.

Now, we’re at a point in history when the snow has already piled up.

The snowpack is now extremely unstable.

We’re just waiting for a single snowflake to trigger…

“THE GREATEST AVALANCHE IN THE HISTORY OF FINANCE”

I've already identified 30 financial “snowflakes” that could kick off the avalanche…

The chaos could breakout as early as just weeks from now. So we don’t have much time to prepare.

For now, here are just a few snowflakes I've identified…

FINANCIAL SNOWFLAKE #1

Announcement of the Chinese Yuan as a New Reserve Currency on October 2015

A lot of people think a collapse of our currency is not possible because there are no alternatives to the U.S. dollar.

But that’s NOT true.

As I showed you today, there IS a replacement already conveniently ready to roll forward… the new global money I’ve been talking about.

See, the IMF has developed a reserve currency basket called SDR, or Special Drawing Rights.

For the past few years, the institution has openly called for the SDR to replace the dollar as the world reserve currency.

And this day is closer than anyone thinks.

Barron’s has already reported that “the talk [to replace the U.S. dollar by SDRs as the world’s reserve currency] has gained momentum recently.”

And that’s not all…

The IMF has also proposed creating SDR-denominated bonds. This could reduce central banks' demand for U.S. Treasuries, reducing the value of our currency.

And it wants to price commodities, like oil and gold, using SDRs as opposed to U.S. dollars.

Finally, the IMF is also seeking to include China's currency, the yuan, in the SDR basket.

They want to make sure China is on board with a monetary system designed around this new global money.

And that brings me to the deal I’ve been talking about…

IMF head Christine Lagarde, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, and China finance minister Lou Jiwei met behind closed doors this past April to discuss the details of this financial deal.

I know this from sources who, like me, attended the IMF gathering during which this secret conclave took place.

And I can tell you the plan is already in motion, with things moving quickly.

The next step is coming on October 2015.

That’s when the IMF will complete its twice-a-decade review of the currencies that set the value of the SDR.

And it’s very likely the IMF will add the Chinese yuan as an official reserve currency to the SDR basket.

In the last few years, the use of the Chinese currency in international markets has already grown in a very big way.

The proportion of China’s trade that’s settled in yuan has risen to about 20%.

And, in the last few years, the market for bonds denominated in yuan has grown from zero to $72.9 billion.

China has also signed agreements to trade the yuan freely in cities from Hong Kong and Singapore to Frankfurt and London.

All these developments greatly increase the chance the IMF will include the yuan in the SDR.

And that will pose a major threat to the dollar.

As USA Today reported,

“[This deal] could eventually challenge the dollar and its pivotal position in world money — which is why the U.S. government and Federal Reserve are examining this with intense interest.”

SDRs and the Chinese currency will become much more important in the international scenario.

The demand for dollars will drop, as countries move money out of U.S. dollars into the Chinese yuan.

More important, everyone will realize the IMF is serious about using SDRs as a replacement to the dollar.

The dollar will have a true rival.

And this could trigger a huge crisis of confidence in our currency.

FINANCIAL SNOWFLAKE #2

Emergence of a New Benchmark Price for Oil Denominated in Chinese Yuan

China has now become Saudi Arabia’s biggest customer for oil exports.

Saudi Arabia feels betrayed by the U.S. détente with Iran.

It no longer feels obligated to maintain the petrodollar deal worked out by Henry Kissinger in the mid-1970s that required oil to be priced in dollars.

China has worked out swap lines with Switzerland that allow yuan to be swapped for Swiss francs. This means that if Saudi Arabia takes yuan for its oil, it can swap the yuan for francs, which is one of the most sound currencies.

Deals of this type, including the massive Russia-China energy deal announced in June 2014, spell the end for the dollar as the leading reserve currency.

China is also getting ready to launch its first crude oil futures contract denominated in yuan.

This will give China greater influence in global pricing of oil, putting the petrodollar in danger.

And it’s not just oil. China is conducting trials to launch a yuan-backed gold pricing benchmark.

This means China could soon become the price setter for gold bullion.

This new Chinese gold price benchmark may be launched before the end of the year, posing another major threat to the dollar.

FINANCIAL SNOWFLAKE #3

A Major Power Grid Collapse and Blackout

The United States experienced major power grid collapses and blackouts in 1965, 1977 and 2003. And the next big one may be just around the corner.

U.S. utility companies already come under frequent attacks from Internet hackers. One company alone told congressional investigators that it was hit with 10,000 attacks in a typical month.

Former federal counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke has warned that such an “electronic Pearl Harbor” could cause devastating damage and thousands of deaths across the nation.

And a recent report from the National Academy of Sciences said that attackers could cripple the U.S. power grid and cause cascading failures of equipment that could take months to fix.”

This would bring the entire economy to a screeching halt. Companies would lose hundreds of billions in profits, leading to a major collapse in the stock market.

Since virtually all stock trading is done electronically, stock exchanges would shut down.

Panic would take over and investors would withdraw their money from the market, accelerating the collapse.

Those are just a few of the “snowflakes” that I'm seeing right now.

The point is any of these — along with the 27 other snowflakes I've identified — could mean the death blow to the world’s financial system.

Any of these could set off a cascading set of events that would directly impact you… a financial avalanche of epic proportions.

The Fed wouldn’t be able to bail out the system… and the plan to replace the dollar with this spooky new “money” would be implemented.

The dollar would no longer be used for the important things in the international monetary system. For that reason, your dollars would be worth much, much less.

You could lose 80% or 90% of your savings... virtually overnight.

Any accounts you have in dollars — including 401(k)s, mutual funds and money market funds — could see a complete collapse.

You may not even be able to redeem your money, or pull any of your savings out of the system.

But here’s what’s really scary…

It’s not just the macro view I'm looking at. The data confirms that we’re dangerously close to a breakdown. Consider this…

“THREE LITTLE CHARTS AND THE END OF THE WORLD... ”

Today, volatility is extremely low. Take a look….

The volatility index is trading close to all-time low. And we’ve had this low volatility for the past few years.

VOLATILITY INDEX DANGEROUSLY LOW

Notice this looks very similar to 2005 and 2006, when a period of low volatility led up to the catastrophic collapse in 2008.

This is a warning sign that something very bad is right around the corner.

There’s also something called Skew/VIX ratio. I know this sounds really geeky. But don’t worry, I won’t bore you to death with the mathematical details. Here’s how it works…. when the Skew/VIX ratio is high, it means professional option traders are betting something big is going to happen soon.

Take a look at this ratio… it’s now trading at a record high level.

A SKEW/VIX RATIO PRECEDED THE LAST CRASH

This shows that professional investors are already hedging their portfolio for a potential catastrophe.

Notice that ratio was extremely high in 2007. Professional investors were preparing for a catastrophe in 2007. This was clearly a red flag, right before the collapse.

And there’s a third sign that the end is near…

Margin debt is not only at a record high — it's also accelerating.

The higher the margin debt goes, the more likely a stock market crash becomes. We’ve seen this movie before. Take a look at this chart…

RECORD HIGH MARGIN DEBT INDICATES A CRASH IS COMING

Notice that the last two severe market crashes, the dot-com bust of 2000 and the financial crisis of 2007–2008, were both preceded by sharp spikes in margin debt.

This happens because the market's foundation gets shakier and shakier when debt goes up. Debt increases the instability of the system. It makes an avalanche more likely.

Basically, when you borrow to buy stocks, and those stocks go down — you are forced to sell shares to pay back what you borrowed.

The bigger the debt, the larger the amount of forced selling on the way down.

This creates a vicious cycle where selling leads to more selling. And that’s what creates a quick collapse.

As you can see, the system is blinking red. The collapse could start at any moment. But there’s still time to prepare.

In a moment, I’ll share exactly what you need to do, including how to sign up for my upcoming exclusive live event.

I’d also like to send you a FREE copy of my latest book, The Big Drop: How to Grow Your Wealth During the Coming Collapse.

Inside you’ll find a complete plan on how to prepare for the imminent collapse of our international monetary system.

Maybe you’re wondering why I’d go through all this work…

And why I wouldn’t just take the information I have and protect myself.

Why share it with you?

To answer that, let me tell you a very personal story that explains everything…

HOW I PERSONALLY LOST EVERYTHING... TWICE

Most people know me as the author of two New York Timesbestselling books, Currency Warsand The Death of Money.

But few people know my real story…

When I was just a child, my family lost almost everything. I was 12 when my dad declared bankruptcy after our family’s gas station went out of business.

That financial hardship had a lasting impact on me.

It made me who I am.

And then, when I was 47 years old, I lost my wealth a second time. At the time, I was already a millionaire and the highest paid lawyer on Wall Street.

I invested most of my fortune in the company I worked for — the Long Term Capital Management fund.

After all, this was a fund run by two geniuses who had won the Nobel Prize in economics. They had IQs of 165 and were considered at the time the finest financial minds in the world.

I thought my money would be in good hands.

But eventually LTCM became a web of financial contracts worth a total of $1.3 trillion.

And the mathematical models blew up, causing a financial crisis in 1998.

I helped the Federal Reserve negotiate a bailout with 14 major Wall Street banks and saved the financial system.

But I ended up losing 92% of my investment!

It was time to start over, just like I did when I was 12.

After losing most of my wealth in matter of days, determined to get to the bottom of what had happened…

“How can the LTCM fund get it so wrong?” I asked myself.

I started thinking the financial models the fund was using couldn’t possibly be right.

Because if they were right, the fund wouldn’t have collapsed.

So I set out on a personal 10-year odyssey to solve the problem of risk in financial markets.

What I discovered was “the avalanche theory” that I mentioned earlier.

Put simply, I'm now on a mission to help everyday Americans cut through the deception we’re being fed from the political figures… and avoid going through the kind of hardship I went through.

That’s why I’ve put together a special package for you… one that will help you prepare for what’s coming.

And we’re kicking things off with a one-of-a-kind event…

CIRCLE AUGUST 10TH ON YOUR PLANNER AND JOIN ME IN A LIVE INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING

I’d like to invite you to an exclusive live intelligence session on August 10th.

At the event, I will share the details behind all the snowflakes that are falling on our world economy… and show you what to watch for.

I'll give you an update on how this Chinese yuan situation is developing… how the SDR could replace the dollar as the world reserve currency... and how it could directly impact your retirement.

And most important, of course, I’ll share with you what you could do with your money to prepare.

I'll also be answering questions... live.

Please, just keep in mind I can’t give personal investment advice. But I'll tell you about the latest development in this coming crisis and how you should prepare.

Tickets to an event like this would normally cost a small fortune…

I normally charge $15,000 or more to speak at investment conferences.

But today you have the chance to join me in this live event… all free of charge.

And that’s not all.

I would like to send you a FREE copy of my latest book, The Big Drop: How to Grow Your Wealth During the Coming Collapse.

In it, you’ll get my complete blueprint for how to shelter your savings, safeguard your wealth, and prepare yourself and your family for what could be the biggest financial crisis that America has ever faced...

Please understand… the collapse of the international monetary system is not the end of world.

The system has actually collapsed three times before…

Once in 1914, again in 1939 and once more in 1971. That’s three collapses in 100 years.

Life went on after each collapse. But each time, the financial “rules of the game” were rewritten.

Now, as I showed you today, the international trading centers are quietly rewriting the “rules of the game” once again — and soon the U.S. dollar will no longer hold its coveted spot as the world’s reserve currency.

No matter what happens in the world — through great disasters and extreme crisis — there are always people who not only survive... but thrive.

When you look at America’s hardest times — the Great Depression and World War II for example — there were always a few who made fortunes because they saw the crisis coming and took the right steps beforehand to prepare.

Wealth was simply transferred from unprepared Americans to those who took action.

That’s why I wrote this new 263-page book… to show you the exact steps I’m using to protect and grow my own wealth… and how you can do the same.

Inside you’ll discover...

How to (almost) instantly judge the safety of your bank. Plus, a comparison of local community banks, mega-banks, and credit unions. (If you keep any cash at all in your bank account, please read this.)

Why you should NOT worry about whether we will have inflation or deflation (and what to do instead that will safeguard your money — and earn a nice return — no matter what happens)

What you should know about the price of oil and why it’s not always better to pay less money at the pump (surprising but true!)

Details on a secret plan that would allow the government to simply deduct the money they want from your bank account every month.

A surprising way to tell EXACTLY how much interest rates could rise in 2015

One investment that gives you physical ownership of gold, silver, platinum and palladium all in one. (The best part? It gives you higher returns with less volatility than if you owned all the metals individually.)

And much, MUCH MORE...

This book is not available in any book store (including Amazon), and it’s definitely not online at any price...

But I would like to send you a copy, completely free of charge.

And that’s just the beginning of the benefits of your special package.

In fact, I’ve just launched a brand-new letter called Jim Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence, where I provide ongoing intelligence and recommendations.

This single letter will be the only place in the world to hear my analysis on an ongoing basis.

Once you agree to a risk-free trial of my letter, I’ll put you on the invite list to the online event onAugust 10th.

And I’ll send you a copy of my latest book.

But also, because I want you to be as prepared as possible, I want to send you FIVE more intelligence briefings.

With this information, you’ll know the exact kinds of investment opportunities to target and the ones to avoid.

INTELLIGENCE REPORT #1 30 "SNOWFLAKES" THAT COULD TRIGGER THE NEXT FINANCIAL AVALANCHE

People ask me all the time, “What could trigger the next crisis? What could be the snowflake that triggers the avalanche?”

My answer is always the same: “It doesn’t matter.”

Based on the “avalanche theory, what matters is the instability of the system.

You don’t worry about the snowflakes… you worry about the snow… and that it’s unstable and just waiting to collapse.

The next big crisis is not going to happen because someone will make a big mistake. The mistakes have already been made. The system is already unstable. We’re just waiting for the snowflake to trigger the avalanche.

But in case you’re still wondering, I'm currently seeing at least 30 potential catalysts. I’ve never seen anyone write about some of these “snowflakes” before.

But in this special report, called 30 “Snowflakes” That Could Trigger the Next Financial Avalanche, I'll explain each one, telling you exactly what you need to watch for.

And there’s more…

INTELLIGENCE REPORT #2 FIVE SECRET ANTI-DOLLAR INVESTMENTS

Warren Buffett has publicly criticized gold on many occasions, saying the yellow metal is useless. But when it comes to multibillionaires, you should watch what they do, not what they say.

And for the past few years, America’s greatest investor has been secretly betting against the future of the U.S. dollar.

More importantly, I’ll show you how you can replicate this strategy with five simple investment opportunities. This is the ultimate strategy for those who want to protect their wealth against a dollar collapse.

But you’ll also need to prepare for a stock market crash…

INTELLIGENCE REPORT #3 HOW TO DOUBLE YOUR MONEY WHEN THE AVALANCHE BEGINS.

The third special report I have prepared for you is called Three Investments That Will Jump 100% During the Crisis.

In this intelligence briefing, I’ll tell you three simple “insurance” investment opportunities you can make to protect your portfolio against the coming meltdown.

For example, I’ll tell you about a unique investment opportunity that will protect you against a stock market crash.

In 2008, when the market collapsed this little-known insurance investment opportunity actually went UP 754%.

I’ll also tell you about a unique gold investment opportunity that will protect you against a dollar collapse. It has nothing to do with ETFs, bars, coins, options, mutual funds or investing directly in gold miners.

Yet, it has managed to beat all those types of gold investment opportunities.

For example, this year alone it’s up 20% already, even though gold has barely moved.

When gold moves to $7,000 an ounce, as I expect, this investment opportunity to go up more than 500%.

Finally, I’ll tell you about a unique “insurance” strategy that lets you collect hundreds and even thousands of dollars at a time, almost instantly.

It can generate five to 10 times more money than dividend stocks or bonds… even during market turmoil.

Surprisingly, this secret has nothing to do with buying bonds, mutual funds, ETFs or options.

And yet, it allows you to collect anywhere from as much as $515 to even $3,525 or more… every single month.

You will find all the details of these three “insurance” plays in this intelligence briefing.

INTELLIGENCE REPORT #4 HOW TO TRIPLE YOUR MONEY WITH THE RISE OF THE YUAN… WITHOUT INVESTING IN THE CURRENCY

As I showed you today, the IMF is planning to add the Chinese yuan to its basket of currencies known as SDR.

This will give the Chinese currency instant status as a global reserve currency.

Once that happens, central banks that hold most of their reserves is U.S. dollars and euro will try to diversify a bit.

They will move some reserves away from the dollar and euro, and into the yuan.

According to some estimates, at least $1 trillion of global reserves will switch into Chinese assets if the IMF endorses the yuan as a reserve currency.

The bottom line is… a lot of money will move out of the U.S. dollar into the Chinese currency, making it stronger.

Some analysts will try to profit by investing in the Chinese yuan before this deal gets inked.

But there’s a better way to profit from this situation.

I’ve found THREE unique ways to play the rise of the Chinese currency… without investing in the yuan or Chinese stocks.

One of them could more than triple your money. You’ll find all the details in this special intelligence report.

ONLINE VIDEO SERIES THE JIM RICKARDS' STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE VIDEO SERIES

Just minutes after you join us, you’ll receive access to a 10-part welcome series of videos where I answer all the questions you need to know to get up to speed.

Think of it like a “fast track” introduction course you can watch even before you start reading my book and intelligence reports.

With your permission, I’ll send you a free copy of everything I’ve mentioned so far.

JOIN ME AUGUST 10TH FOR A LIVE INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING AND GET ACCESS TO THIS STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE PACKAGE

Access to Jim Rickards’ next LIVE intelligence briefing, which will be held on August 10th

FREE book The Big Drop: How to Grow Your Wealth During the Coming Collapse.

Intelligence briefing #1: 30 “Snowflakes” That Could Trigger the Next Financial Avalanche

Unlike what some “financial gurus” might tell you, it’s impossible to predict exactly when the next collapse will happen.

Things are volatile, and the market can change very quickly.

So I've been looking for a venue where I could guide my readers on an ongoing basis as this crisis unfolds, telling them where to invest and how to avoid the pitfalls.

That’s why I decided to launchJim Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence.

My mission in this brand-new letter is to help people prepare for the coming dollar collapse and avoid the kind of headache my family and I experienced firsthand.

In this monthly publication, I'll write directly to you keeping you up to date on how this plan to replace the dollar is unfolding.

I’ll warn you about the potential “snowflakes” that may trigger the “avalanche.” And give you specific investment recommendations and wealth-protection strategies that will help you grow your wealth even during the meltdown.

Until now, I have only provided this kind of service to my high-net-worth clients and members of the U.S. intelligence community.

But with Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence, you too will have the opportunity to hear my best ideas on an ongoing basis.

And it’s important to note, this will be the exclusive place to receive my monthly issues and alerts.

This new letter will not be available anywhere else in the world, at any price.

I strongly suggest you claim your intelligence package today.

Because, there isn’t much time left to protect yourself. The meltdown could start within the next six months.
